No
The summary describes a physical filter for respiratory circuits and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No
This device, a bacterial/viral filter, is used for filtration within respiratory breathing circuits and does not actively treat a disease or medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a filter intended for use within respiratory breathing circuits to filter particulate matter. Its purpose is mechanical filtration, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly identifies it as a "Bacterial Filter BF100," which is a physical hardware component intended for use in respiratory breathing circuits.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for filtering particulate matter within respiratory breathing circuits. This is a mechanical function related to patient respiration, not the analysis of biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description simply identifies it as a "Bacterial Filter."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on sample analysis

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for clinical diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device's function is purely mechanical filtration within a breathing circuit.

Trade/Device Name: Ventlab Bacterial Filter BF 100 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 868.5260 Regulation Name: Breathing Circuit Bacterial Filter Regulatory Class: II Product Code: CAH Dated: April 29, 2003 Received: April 30, 2003

Dear Mr. Kelly:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration

and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
